Calix is as TOXIC as a sales culture as they come! BEWARE - Sales Calix Employee Review

1) They lie and deceive from the moment you are offered a position after a grueling interview process. You. can not trust the data and they are a toxic hot mess especially in large accounts. 2) The culture is MICRO management from the president Michael Weening and CEO Carl Russo on down. Expect to work 80 hours a week , weekends, and constant berating from management. 3) They have no clue how to set goals, let alone pay you. Expect that deals you sell will take 9-12 month to ship and they only pay you in arrears after shipment. 4) To compensate they put you on a recoverable draw to which they pay 80% of plan unless you never meet the 4X inflated quota numbers. Then cut you off until you quit and then expect to recover money from you. 5) Expect when you leave, and it is always a matter of time, (They only showcase on this website the longer tenure people) you will be part of the revolving door. I have never been apart of such a toxic environment ever! 6) If you ever look up the dictionary definition of arrogant or pompous- Calix leadership should be the first thing that comes up!
